Unless you are a pro-gamer, you won't be seeing any perceivable difference in experience between a ping of 35ms vs a ping of 1ms. (And even if you are a pro gamer the difference it miniscule)

The difference between 35ms and 1ms is night and day.

If you take two equivalently skilled gamers, both with highend gaming rigs, and put them in an FPS like BF4, one with 35ms latency and the other with 1ms latency, the results will not be even.

The results would be very marginally different, assuming precisely equal skill. However, even a miniscule difference in skill would account for a far greater impact than 35ms difference in lag. Certainly not 'night and day'. More like ' night and a slightly different part of the night a couple of seconds later'http://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime/statistics

A 35ms change in latency gets lost in the rounding.

It's a bit like the difference between a world ranked cyclist using a bike that weighs 1g less than another bike. The lighter one is 'better' when you hold everything else exactly the same, but the difference is so tiny as to be imperceptible.

And in any case, I doubt that the people on this forum are pro level gamers anyway, so the difference is even smaller. I.e. An amateur cyclist our for a Sunday ride isn't going to see any difference with a bike that weighs 1g less.
